To all of our guests, speakers, performers, partners and the staff at the Eastman school of music, thanks for helping us make TEDxFlourCity2015: Branch Out, a success! Over 350 Rochesterians filled Kilbourn Hall on Saturday May 30th for TEDxFlourCity2015 and came ready to Branch Out. Read on to find out how our Branch Out theme made this year’s conference our most important event yet...

Look outside. It’s that time of year again. The Lilac Festival is underway, trees are blooming, and there are people on every sidewalk. True Rochester spring is here and of course, it’s almost time again for our favorite conference.

At colleges throughout the city, students are preparing for final exams and graduation. So it’s fitting that our final look back at last year’s main event highlights a group of driven R.I.T. students. Read on to re-live, and receive insights from our final TEDxFlourCity2014 speakers...

We are only 4 weeks out from TEDxFlourCity2015: Branch Out and with more frequent team meetings, and constant email and Facebook message slinging, we are in full gear. Although we are focused on May 30th, current events serve as striking reminders of our past. A look back at last year’s event reminds us why TEDxFlourCity is important; it serves as a space where positive ideas are lifted out of heavy issues and connections are highlighted within our community…

Welcome to March! While spring still feels far away, we've got the next best thing: we are so excited to be hosting our Kickoff Event next week! This free event is on March 11 (a Wednesay) at 6pm in the beautiful pent house office spaces of the First Federal Building.

Our events are always a great networking opportunity for up and coming thought leaders in the Rochester community. Whether you are into networking and great conversation, or just want to enjoy some TED talks, hors d'oeuvres and a beautfiul view of the city with like-minded people, you won't want to miss this! If you would like to attend all you have to do is register here. Space is limited so do that soon. We look forward to seeing many of you there!

And now another TEDxFlourCity2014 flashback. Or should I say, a flashback within a flashback...

At our TEDxFlourCitySalon: Voz- The Power of the Latino Voice, Luiz Martinez explained how combining risks with big actions and a smart attitude can take you toward your dreams quickly. Are you ready to play to win?

Greetings TEDxFlourCity fans! We hope you have been staying warm and are conquering the snow as we hike our way through February. The team is continuing to ramp up for May; preparing for a salon in the coming month, and searching for our next speakers. If you are interested in speaking at our next event, or know of anyone who would be great, shoot us an email or send them our way: william@tedxflourcity.com.
